Hankie Dress

I love doll dresses made out of handkerchiefs, and am often on the lookout for vintage or new hankies.  I bought a pack of men's hankies, and one of them reminded me of the dress Dorothy wears in the Wizard of Oz.  I hunted around, and found an Ann Estelle pattern for a dress in my Doll Reader pattern book (http://shop.dollsmagazine.com/books/doll-reader-pattern-book.html).  I used the hem on the hankie as the hems on the bottom and back of the skirt and for the hem on the sleeve.  Otherwise it was like making a dress from regular fabric.  I used a second, white hankie to make an underskirt and the sleeves.  The dress fits Bleuette quite nicely.
